#560 The Jesus and Mary Chain – Psychocandy

Posted on by anoceanroars

The Jesus and Mary Chain debut album Psychocandy is the front-runner in proto-shoegazing music of the 80s. Brothers Jim and William Reid hail from Scotland and started forming the band in 1983. I had not heard of them until the song “Reverence” came out in 1992.

My favourite songs are “Just Like Honey“, “The Hardest Walk“, “Cut Dead“, “Never Understand“, “Sowing Seeds“, and “Something’s Wrong”.

I think the guitar distortion or feedback gets a little over used. It starts to make my head hurt. Otherwise, I like their vocals and feeling. I am looking forward to their next album on the list. 7.5/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
